wireproto: add media type to version 2 capabilities response This is useful to advertise because servers reject unsupported media types. A client may wish to speak multiple media types and choose the one the server supports. I doubt we'll ever use multiple media types or negotiation in core. But during the course of developing this protocol, I may end up making extensions that backport and forward port protocol support as needed to support Mercurial deploys in the wild. e.g. I may deploy support for an older protocol on a server so old clients can continue using it. It's worth pursuing changing the SSH protocol's upgrade mechanism to support multiple media types as well... Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3299

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
